**Nothing More **caused quite a stir about their latest video, “EXISTENTIAL DREAD” before it was even officially released yesterday.

For the video, the boundary-pushing band partnered with AI director/editor Jurassic Smoothie. After only a teaser trailer was shared, a debate online about the use of AI to create music videos and art was quickly sparked. The next day, singer Jonny Hawkins personally shared his thoughts [HERE](https://maricmedia.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=727b0946ab3fa65fe60bec739&id=86e6f299c8&e=c982cfcc7a).

He also commented on the band’s Instagram in response to fans being unhappy with the AI medium. “*AI didn’t make a video for us. We hired an artist, I plotted out a vision, theme and visuals. Then that artist used AI to start generating images that he edited together through multiple versions with notes… and then tweaked that into a visual experience for the viewer.*”

Hawkins adds: “*There is a huge difference between *letting* a machine create something and *using* a machine to create something. Nine Inch Nails is a perfect example of a prolific artist who used machines to sculpt their sound. It’s all about how you use the tool that determines art, not which tools you are using.*”

The deluxe edition of CARNAL was released on March 28. Five other bonus tracks on CARNAL (DELUXE) include a live version of the “ANGEL SONG” recorded from the band’s set at Aftershock Festival 2024 where NOTHING MORE was joined onstage by guest vocalist David Draiman of Disturbed; two remixed songs from Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria) and Justin “JD” Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White); plus a new song that was released February 7, “WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.” 

Carnal Deluxe is out now
